"Please don't buy"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Intake gasket bad two months after buying.
Number 1&2 fan speeds stop working.
Three bad wires had to be replaced.
AC was leaking when I got it,$350.00 repair, dealer payed for half of cost.
Now have ticking noise in engine when it is shut off and re-started.
General comments?
Please don't buy one of these car's, unless you like to spend lots of money on it.
